Holy Crap, That's A Lot of Pink: The Rise of the House of Barbie, Shanghai Flagship Store

Seriously, that's a lot of Barbie. I didn't know this existed until recently. It's the Barbie Worldwide Flagship Store. It's in Shanghai. There's a Barbie Spa, where you can get massages and facials. There's a Barbie runway. A Barbie Cafe on the top floor, where you can order Barbie-tinis, Barbie gelato, and who knows what else. The escalator is pink. You can buy Vera Wang wedding gowns and Patricia Field accessories and tiaras. The elevator looks like a big, pink, glowing vulva.

It's a little scary. And very, very pink.
